The Future



When I was a little boy a thought I will be an informatics programmer, something like a hacker, I think that was because I love the movies of cyberpunks and hackers, and anything that were a dystopic future; I remember the horror of the movies like The Lawnmower Man, it was focused in the dangers of the technology, other movie that I remember whit special feelings its Cyborg and Blade Runner; so I was very influenced in my vision of the future by movies like that, I tough the future itself will be apocalyptic, I still believe a little that. Anyway, according the time was running, I decided to study philosophy, but that doesn’t end well. Now I think it will be a triumph to end the career and be a Geographer, I hope to find a job in a good institution, and travel a lot, maybe live in the south, I really like the south of Chile, I think that live in Coyhaique or Punta Arenas will be a very successful future for me, and whit that I’m going to be happy. But one never knows what the future want from us, so I really like to travel, if I can travel enough I thing I will be happy in any thing that I could do. I actually don’t think in children because I don’t think that the world is going to improve, maybe if I see positive changes in the world I could imagine a life whit a child.

When the earthquake arrives I was on whit an ex-girlfriend in a place called Bullileo, it’s an artificial lagoon, a reservoir for watering that is near Parral, in Maule. I was sleeping in my tent, when suddenly woke up whit the move and the noise of the earthquake, it sounds like cracking rocks and falling crystals breaking. We were very afraid because we were at the bottom of the reservoir, and we tough that the wall that support the reservoir can be broken.  So we wake up and put us the shoes for walk along the yard while the earth was still moving. We meet other people and they said us that nothing happened to the reservoir, so we were to sleep. At the other day, we meet whit the local police group, so we can call our fathers, and they told us how was the earthquake in the city; mi ex was very worried about his grandma that lives in an old house in a rural location but she was fine anyway. The police invite us to eat, and we ate whit them, so we can ear how they passed the earthquake, they were worried about a friend that passes the earthquake in the frontier whit argentina in an observation post, one of them started to cry, because was worried about her family, he couldn't talk to them because nobody answered the phone. In the house of the local police we could listen to the radio, and we heard that Parral, the nearest location, was under chaos, so we decided not to move till the tings were more peaceful. We stay three more days at Bullileo to the arrive of my father, that came to us in the car to carry us to Santiago. It was like a 10 hours travel because the bad state of the highway. Once in the house we could know about our family, nobody of us suffer mayor consequences.
